The Granite Curling Club offers many leagues that cater to a wide range of skill levels and competitive interests. With so many choices, there's sure to be a league that's just right for you! Don't forget that curling is a social activity as well! After each game, teams head upstairs to chat, quench their thirst, and (depending on the league) eat.
Leagues are divided into two types: Manager's Choice (MC) and Skip's Choice (SC). For Manager's Choice leagues, curlers sign up as couples or individuals and the league manager puts them together into balanced teams based on skill levels and experience. For Skip's Choice leagues, curlers form a team and sign up as a team. If you're new to curling, you'll want to start with a Manager's Choice league.
In the list below, multiple game times mean you will play at one of the times listed depending on the week. Schedules are available prior to the start of league play, and all leagues have a substitute roster in case you need to miss a game.

2023-2024 Sunday Novice
|
1:00pm (varies in the few Spring sessions) | Sep 17 2023 to Apr 21 2024 | Yes |
This casual league is a great place to learn the sport of curling, as these sessions focus on supporting the skill development of novices. Curlers with less than three years of experience or who have never had a class will benefit most. At each meeting, we spend the first half learning drills targeting specific skills, and the second half playing pick-up games where you can try playing a new position. Teams change week-by-week. The cost of this league is included in your membership. This league only meets on certain Sundays, so check the club calendar. Ask the league managers if you have questions about whether this is right for you! League Managers: Richard Palmason, Will Dimmit, Kate Fox |

Morning curling is followed by a lunch that allows you to socialize with your fellow curlers before tackling the rest of your day. If you have a flexible schedule or need a mid-week break from your daily grind, Thursday morning may be the perfect league for you! League Manager: Chris Hester |

Teams take turns bringing in dinner for the league. This season, we are enacting a trial run of allowing 5&U teams who are planning to compete regionally/nationally to play together for the first half only of Monday night league. We will be evaluating if this significantly changes the competitive balance of the league. You must have a full team, and each member is subject to the league rules regarding registration and over subscription. League Managers: Emily Bissonnette and Ashleigh Price |

5:00pm | Sep 26 2023 to Apr 2 2024 | Yes |
Tuesday Supper League is a fun social league where curling teams are mixed up week by week - but the important thing is that everyone is on a consistent Supper team! It's an excellent league for new curlers, since you'll get to play with a lot of different people who can each teach you something new about the game. Supper teams take turns making meals for the league and eat while watching the Super League which happens right after their league time. This league might just be the most fun league at Granite!

2023-2024 Wednesday Women's
|
7:00pm, 9:00pm | Sep 27 2023 to Apr 3 2024 | No |
Wednesday Night Women’s League is a fun, hybrid league for women-identifying curlers who are interested in developing their skills, socializing, and playing some great games. In honor of the spirit of curling and the goal of establishing a welcoming environment for all, players can join as part of a team (Skip's Choice pool), or individually (Manager's Choice pool). Teams from both pools will play each other throughout the season. The season will end with playoffs. This league does not do meals, but teams are encouraged to bring snacks to share for post-game socializing with their opponents. Pending player interest, managers will incorporate occasional mini skill clinics before games. NOTE: Teams that intend to join as Skip's Choice must have their full team signed up by the time registration closes. At that time, teams without a full roster will be added to the Manager's Choice pool, and we cannot guarantee more than two players will be placed on a team together. Registrants will be sent a survey by league managers to declare their team preferences. League Managers: Kaitie Kovach and Shannon Brown |
